R = -2 :) hope this helps
Let's take the number as x.
two-fifths of a number = 2x / 5
decreased by 3 = (2x/5) - 3
(2x/5) - 3
(2*25/5) - 3
(2*5) - 3
10 - 3
7
Hence the correct answer is C) -23
Further explanation:
We have to put the values of m and n into both expression first separately and then multiply the answers.
Given expressions are:

The values are:

Putting the values in expression 1:

Putting the values of m and n in second expression

Multiplying both expressions:

Hence the correct answer is C) -23

Answer:
The probability that she will not get a hit until her fourth time at bat in a game is 0.103
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"
Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:
Solution to the problem
For this case we want this probability

And using the probability mass function we got:
The probability that she will not get a hit until her fourth time at bat in a game is 0.103
